The NCAA has yet to rule on the eligibility of Kentucky freshman center Enes Kanter, but he will not be allowed to practice with the team until that ruling is rendered, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Kanter, a Turkish center who was expected to start for the Wildcats this season, has been the target of an NCAA eligibility review amid reports he received more than $100,000 from a Turkish professional club.

According to the Herald-Leader, NCAA rules state that a player can practice no more than 45 days with their team while their eligibility is under review. In Kanter's case, he began practicing in early August as the Wildcats prepared for an exhibition trip to Canada.

"Starting today, the student-athlete is prohibited from practicing to include the upcoming Midnight Madness practice," NCAA spokesman Chuck Wynne wrote Friday in an e-mail.

The Herald-Leader reports UK could request a waiver to allow Kanter to return.
